GeneralEdit
For scientific plotting applications, Gist is a scientific graphics library written in C by David H. Munro of Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It supports three graphics output devices: X Window, PostScript, and Computer Graphics Metafiles (CGM). The library is promoted as being small (written directly to Xlib), efficient, and full featured. Portability is restricted to systems running X Window (essentially, the Unix world).
Python variantEdit
There is a Python port of Gist called PyGist;<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> it is used as one of several optional graphics front ends of the scientific library SciPy.
